Early access to latest video!!
Know at least three of you have been looking to buy one of these, so here's my thoughts!!
I've been testing over the last few months, so can say with absolutely confidence.... they're awesome! The S10 is quite extraordinary in how it solves the mopping challenges of all robovacs before it, they just all seem a bit silly now!!
And the K10+ Pro (just out in last few days) is brilliant just in what it's size unlocks....!!
Enjoy!

I'll send you a PM, suspect you've missed an automatic email (eg spam folder)
I won't hold back on Bowie then. And yes, "demanding" and "genuine" are also good descriptors of your character. I'm sure it may feel like suffering to you sometimes, blessing/curse situation, but if so, hope you know, your suffering is our bliss.
Ha! Okay
The Thin White Vacs? Sorry, last Bowie reference, I promise. Great review and presentation. Having a trusted resource with such integrity, practicality, and a playful sense of humor is so wonderful. You are a very special person. Please don't ever stop!
What do you mean 'the last Bowie reference '???? That is completely unacceptable!!! There is no limit to Bowie references!! Thank you, that's very kind of you to say, I do suffer somewhat by demanding I test things for months and refuse to review anything with silly scripts, but I'd hope at least you'd know it's always my genuine experiences!!!
Wonderful video! I especially like the self-charging water station, and having the mop brush continually cleaned is a nice touch, too. So much smarter than any robot vacuum I've ever had. And the imaginary drunken Switchbot engineers need their own reality show...I would definitely watch🤣
Glad you enjoyed ALH! I'll need to see if the engineers can make a comeback in the next Switchbot release! 😂😂
Those “tanked engineer meeting” sketches were fun! Nice addition to your (fictional - of course 😉) narrative. With hard drinking comes divine innovation, I always say.
Of course, entirely fictional... no credible engineer ever gets tipsy to help brainstorm.... 🤭🤭 There's a good book called Drunk that goes into the research of alcohol and how it made us human actually....!
I have had the K10 for ages and absolutely love it. Really want Homeassistant integration though, it needs to know when my son is back from uni so it doesn’t run as he will have left cables on the floor!
Yes, let's keep nudging them and that'd take it to the ultimate level!!
I’m happy you addressed the HomeAssistant/API angle. I’ve bought into solutions that subsequently narrowed or eliminated their API and, as an HA aficionado, that’s frustrating. I think a big engineering hurdle is the water interface; as in, woe unto those with untreated hard water. How’s your water quality? Do you pass it through RO before feeding? The dehumidifier angle is keen if it reuses the water for mopping. This was a good pick for a review. So much to think about. I got scared when it barreled toward your face! I’ve got decades of marred furniture behind me. “No! No! Not her beautiful face!! Oh, whew, LIDAR SLAM!”
Yes, I think the reality is the horde of HA folks always find a way regardless, so they might as well give in... ;) Water - well funny you should say, as I was just testing our water with a new device this week. It's excellent here (we have local spring water supply, so no real issues at all). It's an interesting thought though about water hardness/softness - this is always the case with evolutionary leaps like this, you uncover lots of new challenges! I imagine you'd just need to clean the filters every little while (it has a pretty accessible filter inside the water station).
Thanks! I will check it out now :)
Enjoy!!
